Electric Six - I've Seen Rio In Flames lyrics

Step out into the street Where the men and women meet And feel yourself giving into the gas When you’re under my spell You’re safe from living hell You’re smothered in a curtain spun of gla** How do you say let’s keeping fighting on, fighting on Where is the blue sky you keep writing on, writing on? This is the place where you and I belong, I belong I’ve made every lover change her name I’ve made a fortune betting on the beautiful game I’ve kept my destiny tucked away in shame And I’ve seen Rio in flames I’ve seen Rio in flames! …Flames…Flames Now what’s it gonna be? Will you take a chance and step out with me? Or keep living with the fiends that broke you? The pain of love cuts deep You were about to go into a permanent sleep When my destiny awoke you How do you say let’s make love all the time? In this translation my words they never rhyme And this convenient needs an extra twist of lime I’ve made every lover change her name I’ve made a fortune betting on the beautiful game I’ve kept my destiny tucked away in shame And I’ve seen Rio in flames I’ve seen Rio in FLAMES! FLAMES! FLAMES…FLAMES! I’ve made a fortune I’ve made a fortune I’ve made a fortune I’ve made a fortune I’ve made a fortune I’ve made a fortune
